I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.

The biggest difference is in the leadership. It was better for us. We had more coaches and mentors to help us. A lot of the younger players today suffer from a lack of direction.

I love sharing my knowledge of hitting with others. Now coaches and players at all levels can learn my systematic approach to hitting a baseball with more consistency mental strength and accuracy.

What the New Yorker calls home would seem like a couple of closets to most Americans yet he manages not only to live there but also to grow trees and cockroaches right on the premises.

If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.

History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.

This is the lesson that history teaches: repetition.

History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.

Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.
